Advancing SDN innovation with HP SDN open ecosystem
HP SDN Developer events
To advance SDN application development with the HP SDN Software Development Kit(SDK) and HP VAN SDN Controller, HP is creating a series of HP SDN Developer events.
To learn more about future SDN application developer events, please contact us.
“HP made some valuable strides in developing a vibrant and vital SDN ecosystem.”
Brad Casemore,
IDC Research Director
HP SDN Developer Workshop (December 3rd & 4th)
The first developer event, the SDN Developer workshop was a 2-day event held on Dec 3rd & 4th in Silicon Valley. The event was successful with a nearly 100% turn out and a high satisfaction rating.
The workshop was designed to allow developers to:
- Gain industry and market insights from SDN advisory board
- Learn about a real customer deployment
- Receive live demonstrations and trainings on developing applications
- Observe the ease of SDN application development through developing a sample application
- Engage with the SDN advisory board and receive guidance on their application
One highlight of the event was that Infoblox complied an SDN application to work with HP VAN SDN Controller at the end of the workshop.
“HP is one of the first large companies that is talking about an App store. The workshop clearly reflects that HP is focused on truly developing new innovative software application for the networking industry. ”
Stuart Baily,
Founder and CEO of Infoblox
